I'm not gonna comment too in-depth on this one because I haven't read Eller's book yet. I agree with self_forged about showing both the pros and cons. Also, I'm convinced that you read it (one of the main points preceptors look for!). Last, you appear to cover all parts of the book (again, I can't tell well because I haven't read it).
Like the others, this essay is quite long, but for book reviews I think that's not as much of a problem. It often takes longer to cover all aspects of the book. Still, if in doubt, ask yourself what your main points are, and cut out the excess.
Bibliographical information is also a good idea.
Overall: it gets a thumbs up in my book. (no pun intended!)
Thank you for the Thumbs Up! I know, I know. Everything I write is way too long. Actually, I do realize this. And I did intend to go back and edit (again) all the essays before I submitted them. But for a book review, if part of the requirement is to show that you read the **whole** book, then you are kinda forced to go long if you also want to discuss the merits of the book. <> I would just hate to cut out some stuff and then have the essay kicked back for some of the very detail I cut out. Brevity sucks. I've always had problems with it. You should see me try to give a 2 minute speach! :-)

Great post! I’d like to see something that’s pretty simple and easy to understand at a glance, but with a lot of motion and activity to reflect the vibrancy of the community. Can’t wait to see what you and morgamic come up with.
